Achieve Nanosecond-Level Synchronization with X-ES' Grandmaster Clock Module

Multi-Slave Synchronization

XPort3200 is an IEEE 1588v2/Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Grandmaster designed to provide clocking and time synchronization to multiple slaves via Ethernet.

IEEE 1588 Time Stamping

Leveraging the Freescale QorIQ P1020, XPort3200 is able to perform IEEE 1588 time stamping to provide an accurate egress and ingress time stamp with a resolution of 8 ns.

Precision Performance

The Freescale QorIQ P1020 processor includes external GPIO time stamp pins.

These pins can be used to synchronize the XPort3200 to a Pulse Per Second (PPS) input, if available. The Pulse Per Second input provides accurate clock synchronization.

If an application requires an absolute time reference the XPort3200 can source a time reference from a serial port or a GPS receiver.

IEEE 1588 uses a standard Ethernet network to transfer clock and time information, providing accurate nanosecond-level synchronization with
minimal software overhead and without introducing a secondary method of communication to slaves.

Accurate Synchronization

For cases where no external PPS or GPS time reference is available, the XPort3200 features a Stratum 3-compliant, oven-controlled oscillator.

This oscillator is used when the PPS or GPS is not available to provide an accurate time reference to IEEE 1588 slaves.

XPort3200 is ideal for industrial applications such as assembly lines and printing presses and military applications such as data capture, telemetry, and control system synchronization.

X-ES 3U VPX and 6U VPX Switches That Utilize XPort3200 Grandmaster Clock Module

All three switches have the ability to host the XPort3200 and feature transparent IEEE 1588 clocking, ensuring accurate synchronization to all devices connected to the switch. This allows very accurate distribution of the XPort3200 IEEE 1588 time to many different slaves.
